ATRA® KEY Advantage
Presto offers two methods to connect GEOWEB sections. The ATRA Key and the Stapling method were compared in a side by side test. The results highlight the ATRA Key option as the clear advantage.
ATRA® Keys Compared to Stapling.

Disadvantages include site access difficulties, need for power source, rental equipment, down-time for reloading stapler & stapler jams.

3,400 Sq ft/hour (316 Sq m/hour)
8 GEOWEB sections/hour
1,144 Sq ft/hour (106 Sq m/hour)
1 per 2 GEOWEB sections
1.5 cents Sq ft ($15/Sq m) 2 x 25 = 50 / 3,400 sf = 1.5 cents/sf
2 x 25 = 50 / 316 m2 = $15/m2
2 per 2 GEOWEB sections
4.3 Cents / Sq ft ($47/Sq m) 2 x 25 = 50 / 1,144 sf = 4.3 cents/sf
2 x 25 = 50 / 106 m2 = $47/m2
Nearly Three Times Faster
